Islam

In the pages of Holy War, Just War, Roberto de Mattei argues that "The best way to approach Islam is to respect it. And to respect it means to accept it for what it is, without 'reinterpreting' it and trying to make it what it is not." His is such a sensible approach that it unlikely to be taken up by our leaders, because to view Islam "as it really is" involves jettisoning illusions upon which our foreign policy has been built for decades. . . . | Paperback

In Defeating Jihad, Srdja "Serge" Trifkovic explains that Islam has created jihad and remains defined by jihad. It is the only major religious doctrine in human history with a developed doctrine, theology and legal system of mandatory violence against non-believers. This fact makes Islam the earliest political ideology that adopted terrorism as a systemic tool of policy, not as a temporary and unwelcome expedient. | Paperback
